<DD>Set the maximum number of error messages in a ``cascade''. During checking
of agreement of subprogram arguments, common block declarations, and so
forth, sometimes a single case will generate a long string of warnings.
Often this simply indicates some other cause than a genuine item-by-item
mismatch, such as for example a varible missing from one list. So in such
cases <B>ftnchek </B> stops printing the warnings after the cascade limit is
reached, and the trailer ``etc... '' is printed to indicate that there were more
errors not printed. If you think that these warnings are likely to be
genuine, use this setting to see more of them. Turn-on = default = 3, max
= 999. A value of 0 means no limit. <blockquote></DD>
</DL>
<P>
This setting does not set an overall
limit on the number of error messages printed, only the number printed
in any one cascade. Most types of warnings and error messages are not
subject to the cascade effect and so are not affected by this setting.
To turn off warnings generally, use the individual warning control options
or the <B>-nocheck </B> option. <P>
